would enhance teamplay possibilities.

at very least making it for SMD, would be already nice. Also maybe give the option, so people that can't run it for the whole team, can choose to see only his intel rings.

This requires an engine patch and was previously considered to be almost impossible to do. @KionX can you confirm that?

Or an engine patch or https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=13350.html#p169487

What if we spawn dummy entities for units with 'reasonable worthy intel', such as radars, sonars, cruisers and command units, for each ally?

[Garanas]

Same for SMDs, use a dummy unit that each player owns but can't select and doesn't render a mesh or anything?

I have some developments. I'll try to patch the engine.

👍 , that works too. If that doesn't seem feasible, we can try my approach too - it won't work when you select them, because they'd be unselectable. But it will work when you always render intel rings.
